Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Gremlin almost done, need wheel advice

Davis. I'm not positive on the weight..but Summit brand wheels are not bad at all! Espically for the $$$$. I put a pair with M/T drag radials on my "other" car and they look/fit well! Joe--- In BaadAssGremlins@ yahoogroups. com, Davis Martin <martin-davis@ ...> wrote:

> For heavens sake before you spend big bucks for Weld wheels look at the summit brand that are almost exactly the same look . A set of 15x4 for the front at $89.95 each and 15x8 for $99.95 each. What a deal! We are running Weld 15x14s on the rear and summit 15x4 on the front of a 74 Gremlin X. Looks great together.

I have a fresh 401 that just put 303HP/335LB at the wheels on the dyno and the car looks exactly like the magazine ad for 1972 (purple w/gold stripes). Even though I love the sleeper look with the stock wheels I want to get a nice set of Weld Racing wheels to make it look just like this..
